The vehicle had three occupants at the time.
The driver of the Lexus, 81-year-old James William Bacak, of Burton, Texas and his wife Irene Bacak, 80, who was riding in the back seat, were both pronounced dead at the scene.
The third occupant riding in the front passenger seat, a 66-year-old man and relative of the couple, was taken to CHI St. Joseph Hospital with life threatening injuries. Police announced on Thursday that 66-year-old Thomas Bacak of Richmond, Texas has died from his injuries.
